PREFACE 


THE  great  revolution,  which,  since  the  last  twenty  years, 
has  taken  place  in  the  system  of  teaching  modern  languages,  has 
produced  a  number  of  works  which  differ  entirely  from  those 
formerly  in  use.  Among  these,  Ahn's  method  has  enjoyed  per- 
haps the  greatest  share  of  favor  in  Europe,  and  also  in  America 
the  republication  of  Ahn's  Grammar  has  been  well  received. 

However,  although  every  teacher,  who  has  used  this  work, 
admits  its  practical  usefulness,  there  are  not  a  few,  who  com- 
plain of  the  insufficiency  of  the  exercises  on  certain  subjects, 
as  also  of  the  reading  lessons.  To  remedy  this  defect,  I  have 
undertaken  to  republish  this  work. 

Considerable  alterations  have  been  made  in  the  grammatical 
part,  but  the  first  or  practical  part  has  been  entirely  remodel- 
led, the  length  of  the  lessons  has  been  increased,  ,and  a  much 
larger  vocabulary  introduced,  whilst  new — :and  I  believe,  more 
appropriate  reading  lessons  have  been  selected. 

Professor  Oehlschlager's  system  of  pronunciation,  pifblished 
in  his  dictionaries  and  other  elementary  works  on  languages, 
has  now  stood  a  test  of  upwards  of  twelve  years,  during  which 
period,  nothing  has  been  published  that  surpasses  his  system  of* 
indicating  the  sounds  of  one  language  by  the  signs  and  charac-. 
ters  of  another  in  accuracy  and  facility  of  application.  Tens 
of  thousands  of  these  works  have  been  sold  here  and  in  Europe 
and  the  demand  is  still  unabated. 


—  IV  — 

The  pupil,  who  cannot  procure  a  teacher  of  the  German 
language,  may  with  confidence  follow  the  accurate  instruction, 
as  well  as  the  interlineal  pronunciation,  laid  down  in  the  work, 
and  he  may  rest  assured  that  his  German  will  be  understood 
wherever  he  goes — nay,  will  be  superior  to  that  which  many 
students  obtain  from  incompetent  or  careless  teachers. 

In  the  first  or  practical  part  a  number  of  references  to  the 
second  or  gramniatical  part  has  been  introduced,  which  will 
enable  the  student  to  obtain  a  more  general  view  of  any  par- 
ticular subject  treated  in  the  first  part. 

Another  new  feature  of  this  publication  is  the  introduction 
of  German  writing,  as  well  ^  in  the  exercises  as  in  the  reader. 
Many  persons  who  read  a  german  author  with  ease,  are  obliged 
to  employ  somebody  to  read  their  letters  to  them,  because  they 
are  unacquainted  with  German  writing.  The  introduction  of 
whole  pieces,  printed  in  written  characters,  will  certainly  ob- 
viate this  difficulty.  This  addition  has  been  made  at  consider- 
able cost,  but  I  am  certain,  that  the  advantages  resulting  from 
it,  will  amply  repay  the  outlay. 

Everything  that  could  be  done,  to  make  this  a  complete 
text-book  for  the  acquirement  of  the  German  language  has 
been  done,  and  I  am  confident  that  a  discriminating  public 
will  not  long  withhold  their  approbation.

a,  when  long  sounds  like  a  in  father,  car  ;  when  short,  like  a  in  ca/r  t 
or  in  castle,  as  pronounced  in  England.  This  letter  when  long  is 
represented  by  a  or  a'  and  when  short  by  a.

hair  ;  when  short  like  e  in  hen,  ell,  error.  This  letter  when  long  and 
close  is  represented  by  ey,  when  long  and  open  by  ai  and  when  short 
by  ai.  '"'.'  '••'"

be  found  P.  78. 

t  The  sounds  of  the  words  in  the  first  lines  of  the  examples  are  long,  in  the  second  lines,  they  are 
bhort. 

t  See  explanation  of  the  signs  used  in  the  pronunciation  P.  83. 


3,  i,   when  long,  like  e  in  me  or  ee  in  meet,  when  short  like  i  in  ill,  in,  if. 
This  letter  when  long  is  represented  by  e  or  ee,  when  short  by  e. 
3get,  ee'-ghel  ;  tljn,  een ;  iljr,   eerr ; 

in,  in;  toinben,  vin'-den;          tmn,  irr'-en. 

D,  0,  when  long  like  o  in  pope,  so,  no,  when  short,  it  must  not  resemble 
the  English  aw  sound,  and  in  pronouncing  i,  the  aperture  between 
the  lips  must  be  much  smaller  than  in  pronouncing  the  English  word 
odd.  The  long  sound  is  indicated  by  o  or  o',  the  short  sound  by  o.

It,  ll,  when  longf  like  oo  in  fool,  when  short  like  oo  in  foot  or  u  in  put, 
pulpit,  never  like  u  in  tub.  The  long  sound  is  indicated  by  oo  or  oo', 
the  short  sound  by  65.

£)e,  ot  the  sound  £>f  this  letter  is  not  to  be  found  in  the  English  language, 
it  resembles  somewhat  the  u  in  fur.  To  form  it,  the  pulpil  should 
'  first  pronounce  a  very  long  o  this  will  indicate  the  position  of  the  or- 
.gans  and  then,  without  altering  this  position,  try  to  pronounce  the  Ger- 
man e  (ey  in  obey).  This  will  produce  the  long  sound.  To  produce  the 
short  sound  place  the  organs  in  the  same  position  .and  try  to  pro- 
nounce, ep,  et,  ef,  eck,  el,  em,  en,  err,  ess.  The  long  sound  of  this 
letter  is  indicated  by  6  or  6',  -the  short  by  6.

in  the  word  ooze,  and  without  changing  this  position,  try  and  pronounce 
the  long  e  in  meet,  and  you  will  produce  the  long  sound  of  this  letter, 
which  is  the  same  as  the  French  u.  To  obtain  the  short  sound,  pro- 
nounce the  syllableSj  ip,  it,  if,  ick,  il,  im,  in,  irr,  iss,  preserving  all  the 
time,  the  above  position.  The  long  sound  is  indicated  by  ii  or  vi', 
the  short  by  u.

3),  ty,  does  not  differ  from  the  German  i,  which  is  now  generally  used  in 
its  place. 

II.       THE   DIPHTHONGS. 

Sill,  is  pronounced  like  ou  in  house  or  ow  in  Jiow ;  we  indicate  its  sound 
by  ou. 

2luf,  ouf;  §iu8,  houss;  Sailer,  bou'-er. 


7  '  

Sleit,  ait,  and  eu,  like  oi  in  oil,  in  some  parts  of  Germany  a  slight  difference- 
is  made  in  these  sounds,  the  cm  being  pronounced  a  little  broader,  in 
others  none  is  made. 

(Sute,  oi'-lai ;  §aitfer,  hoi'-zer ;  ©teuer,  stoi'-er. 

2li,   like  a  very  long  i  or  like  the  a  in  father  joined  to  ee  in  meet. 

Soufer,  ki'-zer;  2ttd)en,  i'-chen;  ©aite,  zi'-tai. 

(St,    like  i,  in  like,  not  quitfe  so  long  as  the  foregoing. 

(Sile,  i'-lai;  ©ette,  zi'-tai;  ©etl,  zile. 

Ut,  ut,   like  oo'ee  or  we  indicated  by  oo'ee. 

III.     THE   PROLONGED   VOWELS. 

There  are  three  ways  in  German  by  which  a  vowel  is  made  long.  The 
first  is  by* doubling  the  vowel,  as:  Slat,  ©eete,  33oot,  this  only  occurs  with 
a,  e  and  o,  they  are  'pronounced  as  a,  e  and  o,  when  long;  that  is  a'l, 
zey'lai,  bo't. 

The  cecond  is  by  placing  an  h  before  or  after  the  vowel,  which  letter 
in  this  situation  has  no  sound ;  this  occurs  with  all  the  vowels  except 
with  ty.  ..  V  ,-• 

Sfyat,   ta't;        fo$I,  ka'l;        2fte$t,  mail ;        ttytt,  een  ;        §ofrl,  none; 
Ufyr,   oo'rr ;        Xfyiir,  tii'rr ;     ©efyor,  gai-ho'rr'. 

The  third  is  by  placing  e  after  i  j  as :  btenett,  dee'-nen ;  liefcen,  lee'-ben ; 
zeep.  • 

IV.      THE    CONSONANTS. 

The  letters  $,  f,  $,  f,  %,  \,  2ft,  nt,  5ft,  n,  ty,  $  and  X,  r,  are  pro- 
nounced the  same  as  in  English. 

33,  b,  at  the  beginning  of  a  syllable  S3  is  pronounced  the  same  as  in  English, 
at  the  end  like  p. 

SBetf,  bile;  2o6,  lope;  SBtdB,  Wipe. 

Gi,  c,  before  a,  e,  t  and  o  like  German  3  or  ts.     It  only  occurs  in  foreign 
words,  many  of  which  are  also  spelled  with  3. 
Stfterne,  tse-sterr'-nai ;  SircilS,  tsirr'-kooss. 

Before  any  other  letter,  after  a  vowel  when  no  e  follows,  and  at 
the  end  of  a  syllable,  it  sounds  like  k,  which,  in  most  cases,  may  be 
used  in  its  place. 

(SaMe,  ka-ba'-lai ;  (Staler,  kla-veer' ;  £act,  tackt. 

3),  b,   at  the  beginning  of  a  syllable  like  d  in  English,  at  the  end  like  t. 
£>etrt,  dine;  3?ab,  ra't;  9htber,  roo'-der. 

@,  g,  at  the  beginning  of  a  syllable  like  g  in  gale,  get,  gUls,  (of  a  fish),  godt 
t,gutt,  growl,  also  after  an  n. 

©arten,   garr-ten;  @elb,  gelt;  gift,   geep; 

©ott,   got;  gut,   goo't;  ©raben,  gra'-ben; 

2)ing,*  ding  ;*  Jang,  zang ;  ©attung,  gat'-toong. 

*  The  majority  of  Germans  Wonounce  the  9  after  the  n  like  k,  however  the  pronunciation  like 
g  is  preferable. 


After  a  vowel  it  has  the  sound  of  the  German  d),  which  see  under 
compound  consonants,  but  it  generally  leaves  the  preceding  vowel 
long. 

Sag,  la'$;  fagte,  za'ty-tai  ;  SBetrug,  bai-troo'$'. 

$,  $,  like  English  h  in  house,  when  at  the  beginning  of  a  syllable,  when 
after  a  vowel,  after  a  t  or  at  the  end  of  a  syllable,  it  has  no  sound  but 
Only  lengthens  the  sound  of  the  vowel.  Between  two  vowels  the 
aspiration  is  very  slight. 

§eiilen,  hoi-len  ;  §ammer,  ham'-mer  ; 

©te&en,  stey'-(h)en;  fafyen,  za'-(h)en. 

3,  j,  like  y  in  yes,  ye,  you. 

3«,  y&;  jeber,  yey'der,        3ube,  yoo'-dai., 

Q,  q,  is  only  used  before  u  and  sounds  as  in  the  English  wofds,  quail, 
quaff,  quill. 

Oliarj,  quarts  ;  Ouette,  quel'-lai  ;  qiter,  quairr. 

9?,  r,  almost  like  rr  in  English,  it  should  be  pronounced  distinctly  with- 
out being  made  guttural.  In  English  the  sounds  of  the  vowels  be- 
fore this  letter,  when  single,  change;  in  fact  all  the  vowels  except  the 
.a,  have  the  sound  of  u  in  fur  ;  thus  her  sounds  as  if  written  hur,  fir 
as  if  written  fur,  world  as  if  written  wurld  and  myrrh  as  if  written 
mur.  In  German  these  vowels  sound  the  same  as  they  would  before 
4  that  is  as  e  in  error,  i  in  irritate,  almost  as  o  in  horror. 

SRetten,  ri'-ten  ;  Iperj,   herrts  ;  Srrtfyintt,  irr'-toom  ; 

crbnen,   orrd'-nen;        Ume,   66rr'-nai;  arm,  arm. 

©,  f,  0,  at  the  beginning  of  a  syllable  like  z,  at  the  end  like  ss. 

@eU,  zile;  faufen,  sou'-zen,  ba«,  dass. 

33,  to,  this  letter  has  the  same  sound  as  f  in  all  German  words,  in  foreign 
words  it  is  mostly  pronounced  like  v. 

SJiel,  feel;  25ertef?r,  fer-keyrr7;  tott,  foil; 

SSiftte,  ve-ze'-tai;     SSiftr,  ve-zeer';  SSaje,    va'-zai. 

203,  to,  like  English  v,  the  teeth  should,  not  be  pressed  quite  so  hard  on 
the  lower  lip. 

SBein,  vine;  toerbeit,  verr'-den;  ttoljt,  vo'L 

3,  8.  like  ts. 

3elt,  tselt;  SauBer,  tsou'ber;  @d}erg,  slierrts. 


V.      TH^   COMPOUND   CONSONANTS. 

The  compound  consonants  are  named  as  the  simple  ones  dj  is  called 

tsey  h£,  cf,  tsey  H,  &c. 

6^,  d),  there  is  no  corresponding  sound  in  the  English  language  ;  it  is*  the 
Scotch  ch  in  the  word  loch,  lake,  and  the  Spanish  _/  in  the  word  Mejico 
(Mexico).  The  sound  lies  between  g  hard  and  k.  In  pronouncing 
the  syllable  ig,  the  breath  is  drawn  in,  in  pronouncing  ick,  it  is  for- 
cibly and  suddenly  expelled,  but  in  pronouncing  id),  it  is  expelled 


—  9  — 


softly  and  gradually,  the  breath  passing  between  the  palate  and  the 
tongue.  The  vowel  a,  e,  i  and  o  are  always  short  before  the  d),  u  is 
sometimes  long  and  sometimes  short;  to  indicate  this  sound  we  have 
used  the  German  character  d). 

In  French  words  the  $  has  the  sound  of  English  sh.     In  words 
from  other  languages  it  has  sometimes  the  sound  of  k. 

33ad?,  bad);  Sod),  lod);  @efi«$t,  gai-zidJt';

ebtna,   dJee'-na;  0emte,  d?ai-mee'. 

fyS,  d)$,  like  a;'  or  ek».     When  the  8  is  the  possessive  case  of  a  word  ter- 
minating in  d),  the  d)  retains  its  guttural  sound. 

Sa<$8fiaks;.  Oc^fe,  ock'sai;  2t^c,  ack'-sai. 

f,  d,  like  ck 
d),  fd),  like  *A. 

,  shoi;  fd^auen,  shou'-en;  rajc     rash. 


@t,  fi,  and  ©^  fp,  as  st  and  sp  in  English.  In  the  South  of  Germany 
these  are  generally  pronounced  as  if  written  sht  and  shp.  The 
student  who  speaks  English,  will  do  better  to  adopt  the  former  pro- 
nunciation. 

ft  ff,  has  the  sound  of  ss  in  English  ;  it  only  occurs  in  the  middle  of 
words,  when  one  of  the  letters  is  pronounced  with  each  syllable 
making  the  vowel  in  the  first  syllable  short. 

SRaffe,  mass'-sai;  ?Weffc,  mess'-sai;  foffen,  lass'-sen. 

§  has  the  sound  of  ss  in  English  ;  it  stands  at  the  end  of  syllables  and 
in  the  middle  of  words  ;  when  in  the  middle  of  words  it  communicates 
no  sound  to  the  first  of  the  two  syllables,  between  which  it  occurs, 
when  at  the  end,  it  makes  the  syllable  short. 

SKafjett,  ma'-ssen;  ©trafce,  stra'-ssai;  bag,  dass. 

ff,  ff,  the  same  as  f. 
pty,  ph,  the  same  as  f. 

?&Uofol>$,  fe-lo-zo'f  ;  $$aittom,  faq-toW. 

tf,  pf,_  pronounce  both  letters  rapidly  one  after  the  other  without  any 
hiatus.  By  pronouncing  the  words  up  'for  rapidly  and  frequently 
the  sound  will  soon  be  acquired. 

$Pferb,  p'faird;  ^feil,  p'file;  pfennig,  p'fen'-nid). 

tj,    like  ts  the  same  as  3. 

$ra|j,  plats,  %n,  et'-sen;  £efeert,  het'-sen. 


—  10  — 

SYLLABIC  ACCENT. 

The  accent  is  on  the  root  of  the  word. 

§ett'*ung,  fen'*ben,  @ang'*er,          gu'*ten. 

Exceptions:     1.  Many  words  introduced  from  foreign  languages,  as. 


2.  German   words  w^th  foreign  terminations,  as  :  Sfto^rafV, 


3.  The  words  :   Ie=fcen'*btg,  Slnt'sftort,  2lntMt£,  and  their  derivatives. 

4.  Words  ending  in  et,  as  :  ^tr^be^m',   23et=te4et'. 

5.  Compound  verbs  which  have  separable  prefixes,  have  the  primary 
accent  on  the  prefix,  as  :  3u"=fcfyrei/*Bett,  fcet"=fit'=gett. 

In  compound  words,  the  accented  syllable  of  the  qualifying  word  has 
generally  the  primary  and  that  of  the  qualified  word,  the  secondary  ac- 
cent, the  former  we  indicate  by  "  and  the  latter  by  '.  In  the  word 
23Iumengarten,  flowergarden,  SBlitmen  is  the  qualifying  word,  therefore  33Iu 
has  the  primary  accent  and  gar,  the  accented  syllable  of  the  qualified 
word,  the  secondary  accent,  23tir"snten*gar/4en. 

DIVISION  OF  SYLLABLES  IN  SPEAKING. 

1.  When  a  single  consonant  occurs  between  two  vowels,  the  consonant 
belongs  to  the  second  syllable,  independent  of  the  derivation  of  the  word, 
as  :    guMo,   not  gut'*e,  altho'  the  word  is  derived  from  gut.      Set'sben, 
fdjvet'sfcen,  $reu'*be. 

2.  When  two  consonants  are  in  the  middle  of  a  word,  they  not  being 
one  of  the  compound  consonants,  mentioned  P.  8,  the  first  goes  with  the 
preceding,  and  the  second  with  the  following  syllable,  as;  (£r'*6en,  $d'*fen, 
freunb'4tcfy,  ®ar'*fce,  28e8'^e. 

3.  CHJ,  (f  and  fd),   when  these  make    the  foregoing  letter  short,   they 
communicate  their  sound  to  both  syllables,  when  they  stand  between  two 
vowels,  as  :    ladjen,  pronounce  lacfy'-cfyen  ;    fpredfyen,  spre^-c^en  ;     toafd)en, 
vash'-shen  ;  riicfett,  ruck'-ken.     When  preceded  by  a  vowel  and  followed 
by  a  consonant  they,  of  course,  belong  to  the  first  syllable,  as  : 

toadjfcmt,  vatfy'-sam  ;•       rMltngS,  riick^lingss. 

4.  ff,  g,  see  these  letters  under  the  pronunciation  of  double  consonants. 

5.  In  compound  words,  the  component  parts  are  pronounced  separately, 
as:    ^tenapfel,  keen'^ap'-fel  ;    composed  of  $ten  and  apfel;  ^eunaiige, 
noin^-ou'gai,  of  yjettn   and   attge.     Prefixes  also  retain  their  sound  and 
do  not   combine  with  the  following  consonant  or  vowel,  as:  fceffretten, 
bai-stri'-ten  ;    befreten,  bai-fri'en;    geftafett,  gai-bla'-zen;    getrrf,  gai-irrt'; 
fceiirfunben,  bai-oor'-koon-den  ;  erofcern,  err-o'-bern..

EXPLANATION 

OF   THE   SIGNS   USED   IN   THE    PRONOUNCING   PART. 

"When  a  rowel  is  immediately  followed  by  one  or  more  consonants,  the 
vowel  is  short,  al,  el,  il,  ol,  ool  are  short. 

When  an  apostrophe  is  placed  after  the  vowel  and  a  small  space  left 
between  the  consonant  and  the  vowel,  the  latter  is  long,  as :  a '  d,  i '  d, 
o'd,  oo 'd  are  long. 

a  represents  the  sound  of  the  German  a. 

ai,  the  long  open  sound  of  e  and  a,  as  in  air,  when  this  sound  is  unac- 
cented, it  must  Hot  be.  pronounced  strongly  or  be  drawn  out  long,  but  is 
something  like  the  final  a  in  the  name  Louisa. 

ey,  the  long  close  sound  of  e  as  in  obey. 

oo',  represents  the  sound  of  the  frerman  it  or  ufy,  it  is  the  oo  in  loot, 
ooze. 

oo,  66,  represent  the  sound  of  the  short  it,  it  is  the  oo  in  foot,  or  the 
u  in  put. 

ou3  always  sounds  like  ou  in  house. 

',  indicates  the  accented  syllable,  that  is  the  syllable  on  which  the 
stress  of  the  voice  is  to  fall. 

",  compound  words  have  often  two  accents,  a  stronger  one  and  a 
weaker  one,  the  stronger  one  is  called  the  primary  and  the  weaker  one, 
the  secondary  accent ;  the  former  is  indicated  by  "  and  the  latter  by  '. 

0,  ii,  <fy,  as  these  characters  have  no  corresponding  sounds  in  English, 
the  student  is  referred  for  their  explanation  to  the  pronunciation  of  the 

letters. 

Each  syllable  in  the  pronouncing  part,  is  pronounced  in  the  same  manner 
as  in  English. 

gh,  represents  the  hard  g,  when  according  to  English  orthoepy  it 
would  be  soft,  and  must  always  be  pronounced  as  g  in  get.

COMPOUND  AND  DOUBLE  CONSONANTS. 


DIRECTIONS. 

All  sentences,  as  well  as  all  substantives,  and  all  "words  used  as  substantives, 
mast  begin  with  a  capital  letter. 

The  second  person  of  the  personal  pronouns  are  written  with  a  capital,  also 
the  words  ©ie  and  @r,  when  used  instead  of  2>U  and  Sfa. 

Adjectives  derived  from  proper  stbstantives  are  not  written  with  capitals, 
except  those  derived  from  the  names  of  towns. 

The  long  f  is  used  at  the  beginning,  the  short  8  at  the  end  of  a  syllable  ;  the 
ff  when  the  sharp  sound  of  the  s  is  divided  between  two  syllables,  the  fj  when 
the  sharp  s  sound  goes  with  the  last  syllable  only.  The  latter  is  also  used  at  the 
end  of  words  or  syllables  (see  p.  9).

will  not  give  them  any  bread  ?  They  shall  not  cry,  for  these  servants

My  dear  Sir,  can  you  lent  me  some  money,  for  I  have  lost  all  mine  ?  Do 
you  prefer,  roast  meat  to  boiled  meat?  I  prefer  ;th'at  to  this.  -Do

(thither).  Did  you  prefer  the  roses  to  the  violets  ?  No,  we  preferred  vio-

shot  (one  will  shoot  him).  When  will  they  shoot  him  ?  They  will

who  has  betrayed  his  country  ?  They  have  shot  him- in  the  garden  of 
the  Dutchman.  Throw  (pour)  out  the  water  which  is  in  the  big  cask. 
Pour  the  water  into  the  tumbler.  This  lady  shed  many  tears  when  she 
heard  that  they  (one)  had  killed  her  brother  and  her  husband.  Who  has 
shed  the  blood  of  this  innocent  man  ?  The  French  soldiers  have  shed  it.

your  aunt  to  speak  to  (mit)  our  seamstress,  who  is  a  very  good  and  in- 
dustrious young  woman  ?  They  do  not  forbid  them  to  speak  to  her,  but 
she  will  not  speak  to  them,  because  she  is  too  tired.  Does  this  man  drink 
(to  excess)  ?  He  drinks  always.  He  spends  all  his  money  in  drink. 
What  has  the  tailor  done  with  the  money  we  paid  him  for  the  coat  ?  He 
lias  spent  it  in  drink.  Has  he  forb'idden  you  to  make  a  noise.  He  forbade

fyer)  he  told  us,  we  might  make  as  much  noise  as  we  wanted  to  make.

of  the  painter.  Have  you  already  found  an  opportunity  to  write  to  (an,  ace.) 
your  friend  in  ^London  ?  I  have  not  yet  found  an  opportunity  to  write 
to  him,  but  I  shall  seize  the  first  opportunity  of  doing  so  (it  to  do)  which 
I  can  find.  I  seize  this  opportunity  to  tell  you  that  the  tea  which  you 
have  sent  me  is  not  so  good  as  that,  which  you  sent  me  last  month.  If 
the  enemy  attack  us,  we  are  (so  are  we)  lost.  The  enemy  attacked  us 
three  times  (an,  dat.)  in  one  day,  and  every  time  we  fled.  When  the  sol- 
dier said  this  to  the  sailor,  the  latter  seized  a  sword  and  attacked  him, 
but  the  former  (that  one)  fled  into  the  garden,  and  shut  the  door.  Does 
your  sister  learn  her  exercise  ?  No  Miss,  instead  of  learning  her  exer- 
cise, she,  tears  her  books  and  cuts  up  her  paper  with  your  knife.  What 
has  the  tailor  done  ?  He  has  cut  up  my  new  coat.  Did  he  cut  it  up 
when  you  were  in  the  room  ?  No,  he  cut  it  up  when  we  were  in  the  gar- 
den. Did  you  ride  every  day  (ace.)  into  the  country  when  you  were  living 
in  (the)  town  ?  Where  were  you  riding  to  yesterday  ?  I  was  riding  to 
my  uncle^  who  lives  in  B.  and  who  has  there  a  very  handsome  house  and 
large  garden,  in  which  there  are  apples  and  pears.  To  whom  did  you  lend 
your  memey  when  you  were  in  Hamburg  ?  I  lent  it  to  those  friends,  who

water.  Did  I  find  a  gold  watch  when  I  was  in  England  ?  Who  invented 
(the)  looking  glasses  ?  When  did  Hele  of  Nurnberg  invent  the  watc  "es  ? 
He  invented  them  in  the  year  1510.  Has  your  brother  invented  this 
wooden  machine  ?  He  has  not  invented  it,  but  my  uncle  has  invented 
it.  Have  these  carpenters  found  the  wood  again,  which  they  had  lost  ? 
They  have  found  it  again  in  the  village  in  which  our  baker's  mother  lives. 
Where  did  your  sister  find  her  gold  watch  again  ?  She  found  it  again  in 
the  school.  Are  the  books  of  which  our  teacher  was  speaking,  bound  or 
unbound  ?  They  are  all  well  bound.  Can  you  tie  up  this  calf?  Yes, 
I  can  tie  it  to  this  iron  ring  which  is  here  below  (un|er,  dat.)  the  window. 
Who  has  invented  the  powder  ?  Schwarz,  a  German  (nom.)  has  invented 
it.  Where  did  the  soldiers  tie  up  their  horses  ?  They  tied  them  up  in 
the  marked.  When  you  were  in  the  Russian  army,  did  you  find  that  the 
Germans  drank  as  much  as  the  Russians  ?  I  found  that  the  Germans 
drank  more  beer  and  more  wine,  and  the  Russians  more  brandy.  When 
these  old  soldiers  had  finished  their  glasses  we  filled  them  again  for  them.

the  water  which  is  in  it  now  ?  Did  the  Englishman  speak  German  to 
you  ?  No,  he  always  speaks  English  to  me,  he  cannot  speak  much  Ger- 
man. What  where  you  speaking  off  (toon)  ?  We  were  speaking  of  the 
watch  which  your  sister  had  found  in  the  church.  He  pronounces  French 
very  well,  but  not  so  well  as  his  eldest  sisters,  who  pronounces  it  as  well 
as  a  French  woman.  What  did  the  officer  promise  you  when  you  showed 
him,  where  the  village  was  ?  He  promised  me  five  dollars,  but  he  has 
not  yet  given  them  to  me.  Please  take  a  glass  of  wine,  Sir.  I  thank 
you  Sir,  I  have  taken  one  just  now.  The  poor  women  accepted  the  money 
which  was  offered  to  them.  Has  your  grandfather  accepted  the  castle, 
which  the  King  of  Prussia  offered;  to  him  ?  Will  you  take  three  dol- 
lars for  this  cloth  ?  No,  I  cannot  take  less  than  four.

Did  you  .know  this  German  teacher  when  you  where  in  Germany  ?  I 
knew  him  very  well,  I  have  known  (pres.  tense)  him  these  (already)  three 
years,  he  is  a  very  industrious  man.  Did  you  know  (have  you  known)  my 
grand-father  ?  I  did  know  him,  he  was  a  tall  (grofj)  man,  and  had  white 
hair  and  blue  eyes,  I  often  met  (perf.  t.)  him  at  the  exchange  and  in  the 
church.  Does  your  tailor  know  how  much  this  cloth  costs  ?  He  does 
not  know  it.  Do  you  know  when  your  father  will  return  from  France  ? 
I  know  it,  but  I  dare  not  tell  you,  q,s  no  one  must  (bttrfen)  know  it.  What 
kind  of  goods  did  you  send  to  France  ?  We  sent  there  coffee  and  tea. 
Have  you  sent  any  powder  to  London  ?  The  king  will  send  this  count  to 
Russia  to  ask  for  the  hand  (bte  §cmb)  of  the  princess.  Did  you  like  to 
go  to  the  country,  when  you  lived  in  Canada  ?  I  liked  it  much.  Why  did 
you  not  bring  your  daughter  With  you  ?  I  did  not  like  to  do  it.  Could 
these  men  not  come  earlier  ?  They  were  ob^ged  to  stay  at  home.  I 
wanted  to  go  out,  but  I  could  not,  I  had  no  bdots.  What  was  I  to  do  ? 
I  had  no  money,  no  friends,  nothing  to  eat  and  no  clothes.  These  kind 
ladies  brought  these  poor  soldiers  daily  something  to  eat  and  to  drink. 
What  were  you  doing  in  the-  country  ?  I  was  buying  oxen  and  calves  in 
order  to  kill  them.  What  did  your  brother  do  in  this  house  ?  He  was 
learning  German.  Where  were  your  sisters  going,  when  I  met  them 
yesterday  ?  They  were  going  to  church.  When  we  saw  you  yesterday, 
you  were  standing  in  the  door  of  the  exchange.  Have  you  not  met  the 
queen  ?  I  have  met  her  in  the  door  of  the  church.  Many  sailors  were 
standing  on  the  roofs  of  the  houses,  when  the  king  rode  on  horseback  through 
the  streets.  Should  we  hate  our  fellow  men,  because  they  do  not  think  (so) 
as  we  do.  Can  you  not  eat  any  potatoes  ?  I  cannot  eat  them,  they 
make  me  sick,  if  they  did  not  make  me  sick,  (fo)  I  should  eat  them  three 
times  a  day  (be8  £agS).  Did  the  man,  whom  you  were  looking  for,  come 
out  of  this  house,  or  out  of  that  ?  He  came  neither  out  of  this  nor  out 
of  that,  he  came  out  of  the  garden  of  the  English  merchant.

When  the  principal  verb  of  a  conditional  sentence  is  in  the  1st  conditional  or 
in  the  imperfect  of  the  subj.,  the  verb  exprlssing  the  condition  after  toemt,  is  in 
the  imperfect  or  pluperfect  of  the  subj.  When  the  principal  verb  is  in  the  2d 
conditional  or  in  the  pluperfect  of  the  subj.,  the  dependent  verb  is  in  the  pluper- 
fect of  the  subj.  (For  the  formation  of  these  tenses  see  §  44  and  55.) 

When  the  dependent  verb  precedes  the  principal  verb,  the  nominative  of  the 
latter  is  placed  after  the  v«rb  and  the  word  jo  may  be  placed  before  it.

The  cook  would  roast  his  meat,  if  he  had  .any  wood.  I  should  rise  im- 
mediately, if  I  were  not  sick.  My  father  would  go  (travel)  to  Germany, 
if  he  spoke  German.  I  could  (imp.  subj.)  make  a  watch,  if  I  had  time. 
These  ladies  could  remain  here,  if  they  wanted.  I  should  die  with  grief, 
if  my  mother  did  not  love  me.  If  we  had  a  carriage  and  horses,  we 
should  take  a  drive  every  day  into  the  country.  These  young  ladies 
would  not  know  so  much,  if  they  had  not  been  in  so  good  a  school  "(a  so 
good).  I  should  have  remained  in  my  room,  if  the  weather  had  not  been 
so  fine.  The  bride  would  have  gone  with  us,  if  she  had  had  her  bonnet. 
If  you  had  put  (tf)im)  more  sugar  into  the  tea,  it  would  have  been  too 
sweet.  Had  the  pupils  learned  their  lessons,  their  teachers  would  not 
have  punished  them  ?  What  army  would  have  conquered  the  enemy,  if 
ours  had  not  done  it.  "Would  the  sailors  drink  the  wine  which  is  on 
board  of  their  ship,  if  they  were  thirsty  and  had  no  water  ?  "Would  you 
not  have  sent  for  the  physician  if  your,  daughter  had  become  (getoorben 
tocire)  sick  ?  I  should  have  sent  for  him.  The  countess  would  have  died 
with  joy,  if  she  had  known  that  the  count  was  (subj.)  safe.  The  mother 
would  have  wept  with  joy,  if  she  had  found  her  daughter  innocent.  The 
soldiers  would  have  set  fire  to  the  house,  if  they  had  known  that  the  of- 
ficers of  the  enemy  (feinbltd),  adj.^were  in  it.  -If  I  had  meat  and  vege- 
tables, I  should  cook  a  soup  for  these  wretched  women,  but  I  have  nothing 
but  a  little  weak  tea  and  a  piece  of  hard  bread,  which  I  give  them  wil- 
lingly. If  I  were  not  so  tired,  I  should  go  out  and  buy  a  piece  of  ham. 
Would  not  the  whole  army  and  the  whole  country  have  admired  our 
general,  if  he  had  beaten  the  enemy,  that*was  much  stronger  ?  This  dog 
would'have  died  if  tl?e  neighbor's  little  girl  had  not  given  him  some  thing 
to  eat*  This  washer-woman  would  not  have  brought  back  the  clothes,  if 
you  had  not  sent  for  them  to-day.  The  eyes  of  your  pupil  (/.)  would  not 
be  so  red,  if  she  had  not  cried  so  much.  This  old  shoemaker  would  not 


—  76  — 

have  so  red  a  nose,  if  he  had  not  drunk  so  much  brandy.  The  little  bicd 
would  still  be  alive  (live),  if  these  boys  had  not  thrown  a  stone  at  it  and 
had  killed  it.  I  should  come  to  see  you  some  times,  if  I  knew  at  what 
o'clock  I  should  find  (subj.  imp.)  you  at  home.

Thou  art  a  good  boy,  give  me  thy  (the)  hand.  How  old  art  thou  ? 
How  many  brothers  and  sisters  hast  thou?  What  is  thy -father?  Doest 
thou  go  to  school  ?  Who  teaches  thee  (ace.)  to  read  ?  Who  gives  thee 
(dat.)  something  to  eat  ?  Does  thou  love  thy  teacher,  thy  father  and 
thy  mother  ?  Does  not  thy  teacher  praise  thee  ?  Wilt  thou  not  be  a 
great  man  ?  If  thou  art  industrious,  thou  will  become  a  great  and  good 
man,  every  lady  will  love  thee.  Children,  if  you  are  good  (arttg),  I  will 
tell  you  this  evening  a  very  pretty  story  of  a  lion  and  a  soldier.  You 
ought  to  love  your  fellow  men.  You  have  lost  a  fine  opportunity  to  do 
something  good.  Who  has  shown  thee  this  handsome  bird  ?  The  far- 
mer's son  has  shown  it  to  me.  Who  has  made  you  the  blue  vest  which 
you  wear  ?  My  tailor  has  made  it  for  me.  Who  has  forbidden  thee  to 
go  out  ?  Thy  father  has  forbidden  thee  to  depart  and  has  ordered  n^y 
sister  (dat.)  to  remain.  Thou  wouldst  die,  if  thou  atest  of  this  meat. 
Thou  wouldst  have  lost  thy  money,  if  thou  hadst  gone  to  America.  You 
would  have  cried,  if  you  had  seen  the  wretched  old  people  without 
clothes,  without  any  thing  to  eat.

By  whom  are  these  children  brought  (tyolen)  from  school  ?  By  the  ser- 
vant. Are  you  loved  by  your  fellow  men  ?  I  do  nothing  (in  order)  to  be 
hated  by  them.  It  is  not  enough,  that  you  do  nothing  to  be  hated  by 
them,  you  ought  to  do  something  to  be  loved  by  them.  Is  the  little  boy 
(being)  rewarded  when  he  does  his  work  well  ?  He  is  rewarded.  By 
whom  is  he  rewarded  ?  By  his  teachers.  By  whom  were  these  houses 
(being)  sold  ?  They  were  sold  by  the  <*}d  uncle  of  our  mason.  Were  you 
not  betrayed,  when  you  were  in  Paris?  I  was  betrayed  by  the.  court. 
How  many  soldiers  were  killed  on  (an,  dat.)  that  day  ?  More  then  three 
thousand  men  (Sftamt,  sing.)  were  killed.  This  watch  has  been  made  by 
me,  John  Peters.  These  pupils  have  been  severely  punished,  because 
they  had  not  made  their  exercises  and  had  not  learned  their  lessons.  The 
good  children  have  been  rewarded  and  the  bad  children  have  been  punished 
by  their  father  and  their  mother.  Have  these  potatoes  been  eaten  by  you 
or  by  the  little  Dutchman  ?  I  do  not  know  by  whom  these  clothes  have 
been  torn.  This  door  will  be  opened  by  you  every  morning  and  be  shut 
every  evening.  His  punishment  will  be  put  off  till,  the  seventeenth  of  this 
month.  Thou  wilt  be  called  immediately  by  the  master.  If  they  had 
need  of  the  servant,  he  would  be  called.  I  should  be  admired,  if  I  were 
as  handsome  as  this  young  lady.  If  they  lived  in  the  country  they  would 
be*admired.  If  they  had  been  betrayed,  they  would  have  been  killed  by 
the  Germans  and  Englishmen.  'Could  not  these  Frenchmen  be  sent  out 
of  the  town  ?  They  would  be  sent  to  France,  for  they  have  betrayed  the 
country.

What  do  you  complain  of  ?  I  complain  of  your  conduct  and  of  that 
of  your  cousin.  Do  these  people  complain  ?  They  do  complain.  What 
do  they  complain  of?  They  complain  of  the  bad  bread  and  of  the  bad 
water  which  they  (one)  give  them.  With  whom  were  youfigh thing  when  I 
arrived  ?  I  was  fighting  with  the  French  officer,  whom  you  know.  With  whom 
have  you  fought  ?  I  have  fought  with  nobody.  Will  the  queen  not  rejoice 
at  the  return  of  the  king  and  the  prince  ?  She  will  certainly  rejoice  at  it. 
Had  not  this  miser  fretted  at  the  loss  of  his  money  ?  He  had  fretted  at  it. 
I  should  have  wondered  (been  astonished),  if  I  had  found  him  in  her  house. 
I  should  be  astonished,  if  he  were  not  sick  to-day.  It  would  have  been 
better  if  you  had  dressed  (yourself)  immediately.  If  you  had  not  been  here 
at  twelve  o'clock,  I  should  have  undressed  myself  and  should  have  gone 
to  bed.  How  do  you  do  Mr.  P.  ?  I  thank  you,  I  am  (find  myself)  very 
well  and  how  is  your  good  lady  ?  She  is  pretty  well.  Have  you  heard 
from  your  son  lately  ?  I  have  heard  from  him  (bor)  two  weeks  ago. 
How  was  he  ?.  He  was  then  quite  well,  but  he  had  been  sick.  Would 
these  ladies  not  be  better,  if  they  were  in  the  country  ?  I  think  that 
they  would  be  better,  if  they  were  in  the- country.  In  my  native  land  I 
shall  find  myself  better.  My  child,  hast  thou  hurt  thyself  ?  Yes,  (my) 
father  I  have  hurt  myself  with  this  knife.  Will  this  child  not  hurt  itself, 
if  we  leave  him  this  fork  ?  It  might  (subj.)  hurt  itself,  we  will  take  it 
away  from  him  (dat.).  I  flattered  myself  that  I  spoke  (subj.  imp.)  French 
as  well  as  you,  but  I  see  now  that  I  have  deceived  myself.  Do  not  flatter 
yourself  that  he  will  give  you  back  the  money,  which  you  have  lent  him. 
I  shall  never  forgive  myself  for  having  (to  have)  struck  him.  We  should 
not  have  forgiven  ourselves  if  we  had  told  him  of  it,

Is  it  still  raining  ?  It  is  raining  no  longer.  Did  it  thunder  when  you 
were  in  the  country  ?  It  thundered  and  lightened  very  violently.  Did 
it  not  blow  very  hard  when  you  were  in  (attf)  the  vessel  ?  It  blew  harder 
than  I  had  ever  seen  (inf.,  see  §  82,  5.)  it  blow.  Has  it  hailed  this 
morning  ?  It  has  not  hailed  but  rained.  Will  it  blow  hard  to  night  ? 
I  believe  that  it  will  blow  and  rain  hard  this  night.  The  sailors  hoped 
that  it  would  not  rain  to-day.  It  does  not  always  blow  when  it  snows. 
How  long  has  it  been  snowing  (pres.  t.,  §  85.)  already  ?  It  has  been  snow- 
ing already  more  than  two  hours.  Do  you  think  that  it  will  snow  the 
whole  day  ?  I  think  so  (e8).  It  would  rain,  if  it  were  not  so  cold.  Are 
you  not  glad  that  your  father  has  returned?  I  am  very  glad  that 
he  has  returned.  Where  you  not  glad  to  hear  that  your  friends  were 
well  ?  I  was  very  glad  to  hear  that  they  were  well  (found  themselves 
well).  I  should  be  glad  to  hear  of  you  and  of  your  friends.  We  should 
have  been  glad  if  you  had  come  with  your  mother.  I  am  sorry  that 
you  are  not  well.  Was  the  servant  sorry  to  have  torn  the  handker- 
chief? He  was  sorry  for  having  torn  it.  I  hoped  that  the  teacher 
would  be  sorry  to  have  innocently  punished  this  industrious  pupil. 
I  shall  be  very  glad  to  hear  of  your  good  fortune.  I  have  been  sorry 
to  hear  of  your  bad  luck.  They  would  have  been  very  sorry  to  hear  of 
your  misfortune.  Do  you  succeed  in  learning  (to  learn)  German  ?  I  be- 
lieve that  I  succeed  in  it.  Did  your  teacher  succeed  in  teaching  these 
pupils  French  ?  He  succeeded  in  it.  Have  you  succeeded  in  finding 
that  happiness,  which  you  were  searching  for  1  I  have  not  succeeded  in 


-  81- 

finding  it.  Do  you  believe  that  the  enemy  will  succeed  in  beating  our 
army  ?  Have  the  farmers  succeeded  in  mowing  their  hay  ?  They  have 
succeeded  in  it.  Columbus  would  not  have  succeeded  in  discovering  Ame- 
rica, if  he  had  not  had  so  much  perseverance.  This  poor  woman  hoped  to 
succeed  (that  she  would  succeed)  in  recovering  her  lost  child.  They  could 
(e$  toollte)  not  succeed  in  finding  what  (baS  toa8)  they  were  looking  for.

through  that  of  my  neighbor  ?  I  went  through  that  of  your  neighbor. 
I  hoped  to  obtain  my  money  through  you.  Will  the  soldiers  march  through 
the  town  or  not  ?  They  will  not  march  through  it.  What  will  you  give 
me  for  my  black  horse  ?  I  will  give  you  (one)  hundred  dollars  for  it,  if 
you  will  sell  it.  This  coat  is  too  small  for  me,  but  it  is  large  enough  for

you,  For  whom  do  you  work  so  industriously  ?  I  work  for  my  wife  and 
iny  children  and  that"  (is  what)  every  one  should  do.  For  a  dollar  one 
can  buy  much.  My  brother  is  gone  (jtefyen)  for  me  to  (in)  the  war.  Has 
your  father  nol;  paid  your  boots  for  you  ?  For  what  (ftofiir)  do  you  take 
me  ?  I  take  you  for,  a  good  man.  Will  you  always  be  so  amiable  towards 
your  bride  as  you  are  now  ?  These  farmers  are  very  hard  to  the  poor. 
Has  he  not  fought  against  the  king  and  the  queen,  who  had  always  been 
so  kind  towards  him  ?  When  did  he,  depart  (perf.)  ?  He  departed  to- 
wards the  seventh  hour.  We  drove  against  the  wind.  They  marched 
against  the  Germans.  What  can  you  do  without  me  ?  I  can  live  without 
you  and"  without  your  money.  Without  this  kind  lady  I  should  have  (subj.

see  the  circle  around  the  moon,  it  will  rain  to-morrow.  I  do  not  like  to 
have  him  about  me.  Thedl  boys  asked  their  father  for  a  dollar  and  he 
gave  them  a  cent.  He  has  sold  his  house  for  ready  money.  What  do  these 
poor  laborers  work  for?  They  work  for  their  daily  bread.

"Where  did  you  meet  (perf.  t.)  your  aunt's  friend?  I  met  (perf.  t.)  her 
near  my  father's  house.  Where  did  your  servants  meet  the  scholars  of 
your  teachers  ?  They  met  them  not  far  from  the  school.  Not  far  from 
this  town  is  a  bridge,  which  leads  over  the  (abet  ace.)  river.  During  the 
winter  the  rich  people  (Seute)  of  this  town  reside  in  town  and,  during  the 
summer  they  reside  in  the  country  or  near  the  sea.  Not  far  from  this 
lake  there  are  high  mountains.  Did  you  cross  (fafyren  iiber,  ace.)  the  lake 
below  or  above  the  bridge?  We  crossed  below  the  bridge,  but  the 
enemy  crossed  above  the  same.  Does  the  castle  of  the  king  stand  on 
this  side  or  on  that  side  of  the  river.*  It  stands  on  that  side.  In  virtue

—  85  — 

of  your  orders  we  have  sent  all  the  officers  and  soldiers  to  that  side  of 
the  river.  For  your  sake  and  for  the  sake  of  your  amiable  sister,  I'  shall 
do  what  you  demand  of  me.  For  our  part  you  may  depart  as  (fo)  soon 
as  you  wish.  Notwithstanding  the  orders  of  the  general,  the  soldiers 
had  left  the  town  during  the  night,  and  at  five  o'clock  in  the  morning 
were  already  beyond  the  forest,  near  the  Hudson  river,  above  the  bridge 
which  leads  over  (iifcer,  ace.)  this  river.  He  was  astonished  to  see,  the 
soldiers  come  instead  of  the  farmers.  Instead  of  me,  my  brother  came 
into  the  room  and  gave  her  the  letter  of  her  grand-mother.  During  the 
night  we  drove  along  the  river  (ljtn),  and  during  the  day  we  rested  not  far 
from  a  thick  forest.  Which  father  will  give  his  son  a  stone  instead  of  a 
loaf  ?  By  virtue  of  the  order  of  the  king  he  loses  his  life  during  this 
night.  In  consequence  of  the  order  of  the  general  he  will  be  shot  to  (this) 
night.  Have  you  been  able  to  live  in  the  country  during  the  autumn  ? 
I  have  not  been  able  to  live  there  during  the  autumn,  but  during  the 
spring  and  (the)  summer.  During  the  autumn  and  (the)  winter  I  have 
been  obliged  to  live  in  town,  on  account  of  my  father,  who  .was  very  ill. 
During  the  whole  afternoon  I  have  neither  seen  him  go  out,  nor  seen  him 
come  home.  Would  you  not  have  assisted  me  to  write  (in  writing)  during 
the  evening,  if  you  had  not  had  too  much  to  do  ?  This  bird  sings  very 
beautifully  in  the  spring,  have  you  never  heard  him  sing?  Has  the 
teacher  heard  the  children  read  in  spite  of  the  noise  which  some  of  them 
were  making  ?

Where  lies  Philadelphia  ?  On  the  river  Delaware  (Delaware  river). 
Please  put  the  book  upon  the  table  and  come  upon  the  roof,  to  see  the 
birds  fly  about  over  the  house.  Put  the  kettle  by  (an)  the  fire,  Caroline. 
Where  is  the  kettle  now  ?  It  stands  by  the  (contraction)  fire  ?  When  we 
came  to  the  river,  we  found  that  the  enemy  was  already  beyond  it  (the 
same) ;  we  therefei'e  remained  at  the  river  to  feed  our  horses.  How  long 
was  this  thief  in  (the)  prison  ?  He  was  there  (in)  three  years.  Why  was 
he  sent  to  (into  the)  prison  ?  He  was  sent  there  because  he  had  stolen. 
Why  do  these  women  not  go  into  the  house  when  it  rains  ?.  They  do  not 
go  into  this  house,  because  they  have  something  to  do  in  (aitf)  the  street. 
When  I  was  walking  over  the  bridge,  the  child  fell  into  the  river  and 
would  have  been  drowned,  if  a  young  man  had  not  jumped  into  the  water 
and  had  saved  it  (subj.).  Where  did  the  officers  sword  hang  ?  It  hung 
over  his  bed.  Where  (whither)  did  you  hang  my  watch  ?  I  hung  it  over 
the  door.  I  wrote  your  name  over  the  window.  Where  is  the  kettle  ? 
It  is  under  the  table  in  the  kitchen.  Put  it  under  the  chair.  Before 
the  castle  is  a  beautiful  garden,  and  behind  it  (the  same)  a  thick  forest. 
The  thief  was  brought  before  this  good  judge,  who  sent^him  to  (into  the) 
prison,  because  he  had  stolen  a  gold  watch  and  twelve  silver  spoons  from 
a  (dat.)  French  count.  He  gave  the  soldier  the  order  to  place  himself 
behind  the  door.  Please  to  sit  down  (seat- yourself)  alongside  of  this 
lady.  I  thank  you  Sir,  I  do  not  like  to  sit.  Along  side  of  him  stood  a 
tall  handsome  man  of  about  thirty  years  of  age.  Where  do  you  live  ?  I 
live  between  (the)  third  and  fourth  street.  The  plate  stands  between  the 


—  •87  — 

box  and  the  trunk.     The  servant  walked  between' the  two  officers.     Sit

Will  you  please  to  step  in,  Gentlemen  ?  I  thank  you  Sir,  we  shall  step 
in  with  pleasure.  "Will  these  ladies  please  to  come  up  stairs  ?  They  will 
come  up  immediately.  As  soon  as  it  begins  to  rain  we  shall  go  in.  As 
soon  as  it  ceases  to  snow,  we  shall  go  out  (Binau3).  Do  not  fall  down  the

went  up  the  day  before  yesterday.  Will  you  tell  your  sister  to  come  over 
to  us.  I  shall  tell  her  to  come  over  to  you,  and  I  know  she  will  come

we  can  pick  them.  If  you  will  not  come  up,  I  shall  come  down  and  (to) 
fetch  you.  I  must  ride  over  to  our  neighbor,  the  farmer,  a*id  buy  some

.  THE  SUB/UNCTIVE  MOOD.    ($  47,  60  &  80,  2,  and  Exerc.  95.) 

After  verbs  which  express,  thinking,  feeling,  wishing  and  stating,  the  subjunc- 
tive mood  is  used  when  doubt  or  uncertainty  is  implied.  After  verbs  which  ex- 
press stating  or  asking,  the  dependent  phrase  is  generally  in  the  present  or  future 
tense,  no  matter  whether  the  principal  verb  is  in  the  present  or  in  a  past  tense. 
The  following  verbs  are  some  of  those  which  may  take  the  subjunctive  mood 
after  them:  metnen,  to  mean,  to  believe  ;  glcmben,  to  believe ;  tocrmut^ett,  to  sup- 
pose ;  jnjeifeln,  to  doubt ;  fdjeineit,  to  appear ;  ^offen,  to  tope ;  fiird)ten,  to  fear ;

tvoffen,  to  want,  to  wish  ;  Kritten,  to  request  ;  fcefefyteit,  to  command  ;  bertangett,  to 
demand  ;  ,ratl)en,  to  advise  ;  fagett,  to  say  ;  erjafylert,  to  relate  ;  ntelbett,  mel'-den, 
to  announce  ;  fragen,  to  ask.

The  conjunction  bag  is  frequently  omitted  : 

©r  fagte  er  fet  Iranf.  He  said  he  was  sick. 

In  this  case  the  verb  is  not  placed  at  the  end. 

The  subjunctive  mood  is  also  used  to  express  a  wish,  in  form  of  an  interjection  ; 
in  the  present  tense  when  the  fulfilment  of  the  wish  is  possible  or  probable,  in 
the  past  tense,  when  the  wish  expresses  the  contrary  of  what  exists.

He  asked  me  if  I  had  money.  I  told  him  that  I  had  none.  Did  you 
not  tell  us  that  you  were  (pres.)  sick  and  could  not  leave  the  house. 
The  physiciao  told  me  that  I  must  (pres.)  remain  in  (the)  bed.  He  men- 
tioned that  the  mail  had  arrived  (perf.).  Do  you  believe  that  it  is  good 
to  live  always  in  the  country  ?  ,  I  suppose  that  the  little  daughter  of  our 
neighbor  will  be  here  before  seven  o'clock.  I  doubt  it  (baran),  that  he 
will  ever  be  well  again  (gefunb  n>erbeit).  Did  it  not  appear  to  you  that 
the  house  of  the  merchant  was  (pres.)  too  small  for  you  ?  I  hope  that 
your  son  will  have  arrived  'when  you  arrive  at  home  (31:  £>aitfe).  I  feared 
that  'he  was  sick  and  could  not  come.  Did  you  not  fear  that  he  bad  lost 
his  property  ?  I  demanded  that  he  should  go  home  (pres.)  immediately, 
and  bring  (Ijolen)  his  father  here.  It  is  not  good  for  man  to  be  alone  (that 
man  be  alone).  He  informed  us  that  his  father  and*  mother  had  died 
(perf.)  at  six.  The  farmer  said  he  came  (pres.)  from  his  youngest  son,  the 
lawyer,  who,  as  the  physician  thought,  was  (pres.)  very  sick.  I  feared  his 
arm  would  pain  him  (fut.).  May  he  return  (subj.  pres.)  safely  ( 
May  God  reward  you  for  what  (that  which)  you  have  done  for 


Whatever  it  may  be  (subj.  of  fetn),  tell  it  me.  Whatever  he  may  have 
done,  he  will  not  be  punished.  Whoever  he  may  be,  (fo...bod))  he  must 
still  obey.  However  small  she  may  be,  (fo...bod)J  she  can  work  well. 
Let  him  depart  early,  so  (auf)  that  he  may  not  arrive  too  late.  If  we  had 
had  time,  we  should  have  stopped  a  week  longer  in  London.  I  gave  him 
the  money  that  he  might  buy  something  to  eat  for  himself. 

117. 

Adjectives  are  used  adverbally  without  undergoing  any  change  (§  77). 

The  superlative  of  comparison  is  generally  formed  by  placing  the  preposition 
on,  with  the  definite  article  contracted,  before  it : 

©d)on,  beautifully ;  fd)i>iter,  more  beautifully ;    am  fdjonjktt,  most  beautifully ; 
Out,  well ;    beffer,  better  ;    am  befktt,  best.  "  t 

When  the  superlative  expresses  the  highest  degree  without  forming  a  compari- 
son, the  preposition  auf  with  the  def.  art.  contracted,  is  placed  before  the  adverb, 
auf 8  fd)onfte,  in  the  most  beautiful  manner  ;  or  it  stands  without  any  preposition ; 
as:  fyodjjt,  in  the  highest  degree;  etttgft,  with  the  utmost  haste  ;  gefyorfamfr,  most 
obediently,  or  it  takes  the  termination  en§  ;  as:  jd)6nfteit8,  in  the  most  beautiful 
manner ;  beftenS,  in  the  best  manner ;  nad)flen§,  very  soon. 

When  adjectives  are  undeclinable,  that  is,  when  they  stand  after  the  verb,  and 
express  the  highest  degree  without  a  comparison,  their  superlatives  should  have 
am  before  them.

Do  you  still  remember  the  beautiful  days  we  spent  (toerlefcen)  in  Ger- 
many ?  I  remember  them  very  well.  Do  not  boast  of  your  beauty,  it 
soon  fades  (toerge^ en).  The  king  has  discharged  many  of  his  officers.  If 
you  will  not  take  pity  upon  my  poor  children  after  my  death,  what  will 
become  of  them  ?  The  French  took  possession  of  all.  the  money  that 
was  in  the  town,  and  then  set  fire  to  it.  Why  will  you  not  make  use 
of  the  money,  which  I  offer  (anbteten)  you  (dat.),  I  know  that  you  are  in 
want  of  it.  This  man  is  ashamed  of  his  native  land.  Are  you  not 
ashamed  of  this  deed  ?  I  am  not  ashamed  of  it,  I  boast  of  it,  as  of  a 
good  deed.  I  am  ashamed  of  them,  they  look  like  beggars.  Sir,  allow 
me  to  assure  you  of  my  friendship  and  of  my  esteem.  Let  us  make  sure 
of  (take)  these  thitfves,  or  they  will  rob  (fceraitfcen)  somebody.  "Do  you 
require  me  ?  I  do  not  want  you,  but  I  want  your  sister,  please,  tell  her 
to  come  to  me.  Do  you  still  think  of  the  many  opportunities,  (which) 
you  had  to  learn  something.  We  still  remember  the  many  days  (which) 
we  were  together  in  prison.  How  (is)  did  she  die  (died)  ?  She  died  of 
(the)  small  pox.  What  (tooran)  did  these  pretty  children  die  of?  They 
died  of  the  measles.  What  death,  do  you  think  that  you  will  die  ?  'I 
know  that  I  shall  die  of  consumption,  my  father,  my  uncle,  my  mother 
and  my  aunt,  all  died  of  this  disease.  It  must  be  drea  drul  (f d)re(flidj)  to 
die  of  hunger.

The  present  participle  of  the  German  verb  is  seldom  used  in  prose,  the  com- 
pound participle  (having  loved)  never.  When  the  former  occurs,  it  should  be 
paraphrased  by  the  pres.  or  imperf.  tense  and  such  a  conjunction  as  best  ex- 
presses the  idea :  "  Finding  that  he  (can)  could  not  open  the  door,  he  (calls)  called 
the  servant,"  may  be  paraphrased  by:  when  (al«)  he  found;  whenever  (toerm)  he 
(finds)  found ;  whilst  (inbem)  he  found ;  as,  since,  (ba)  he  (finds)  found ;  because 
(Weil)  he  finds  (found). 

The  compound  participle  must  be  paraphrased  by  the  perfect  or  pluperfect  tense 
and  a  conjunction ;  as,  having  found  the  door  open,  may  be  paraphrased,  when  (al§) 
he  (has)  had  found,  whenever  (roenn)  he  (has)  had  found,  after  (nad)bem)  he  had 
found ;  as,  since  (ba)  he  (has)  had  found  ;  because  (tt>eU)  he  (has)  had  found. 

2>er  gefyler,  fai'-ler,  fault,  error,  mistake ;  ber  Sftegertfd^trm,  rai^-ghen-shirrm,  the 
umbrella ;  ber  $utlbe,  koon'-dai,  customer ;  ber  Better,  ri'-ter,  rider  ;  bag  ©efdjityf ,

Charles  seeing  his  sisters  weep,  feared  that  they  had  met  with  some  mis- 
fortune* (a  misfortune  had  met  them).  The  calf  being  stolen,  they  shut  the 
door-.  The  ladies  seeing  that  there  were  no  chairs,  sat  down  on  the  benches. 
Ascending  the  mountain,  he  inhaled  the  fresh  air.  Being  obliged  to  leave 
my  trunk  here,  I  shall  send  for  it  to-morrow.  Not  requiring  any  money  this 
evening,  I  shall  leave  my  purse  with  you.  He  being  my  brother)  I  shall 
not  strike  him.  These  customers  having  no  money,  I  cannot  sell  them  any 
goods.  These  children  having  no  books,  I  could  not  teach  them.  '  These 
clothes  being  wet,  I  cannot  put  them  on.  My  father  being  sick,  he  cannot 
go  to  church  to-day.  The  ship  having  arrived  (ange!ommen  h)ar),  we  went 
to  see  it.  The  soldiers  having  died,  we  buried  them  in  the  field.  After 
having  sent  the  servant,  he  went  himself.  Having  slept  enough,  they  got 
up  and  went  to  (the)  work.  Having  flattered  themselves  for  years,  that 
they  knew  (frhtnen)  French,  they  find  n6w  that  they  understand  nothing 
of  it.  Having  put  his  stockings  on,  he  put  on  his  shoes.  Having  seen 
the  sun  rise,  we  returned  to  the  village.  Having  said  these  words,  he 
died.*  After  having  written  these  letters,  you  most  copy  them,  and  after 
having  copied  them,  you  must  take  them  to  the  post  office.  It  having 
struck  twelve,  we  shall  go  home.  Having  cried  long  enough,  he  stopped. 
Having  broken  the  bread,  he  gave  it  his  disciples.  Having  distinguished 
the  light,  we  went  to  bed  and  fell  asleep.  Having  risen,  these  children 
washed  and  dressed  themselves.

Sir,  do  you  not  think,  that  it  is  dangerous 
to  go  so  fast  ? 

Excuse  me  Mam.,  we  only  go  now  25 
miles  an  hour,  I  have  often  gone  40 
miles,  without  the  slightest  accident. 

Oh !  I  cannot  help  it,  but  I  am  afraid, 
it  is  the  first  time  that  I  travel  on  a 
railroad. 

Fear  nothing  Mam.,  since  the  last  acci- 
dent, they  have  appointed  very  trust- 
worthy people;  and  they  take  every 
precaution,  to  avoid  accidents. 

I  see  this  is  only  a  single  track. 

Yes  Mam.,  we  shall  stop  immediately,  to 

let  the  train,  which  comes  this  way, 

pass. 

Here  comes  the  train,  oh  how  is  rushes. 
Is  there  no  tunnel  on  this  road  ? 
No  Mam.,  but  we  shall  pass  a  bridge, 

which  is  almost  as  dark  as  a  tunuel. 

When  shall  we  arrive  1 

We  shall  be  at  the  depot  at  six  o'clock. 

We  now  approach  the  town,  this  is  the 
last  station. 

How  do  I  get  my  baggage  ? 

If  you  will  give  your  checks  to  one  of 
the  porters,  they  will  send  your  bag- 
gage to  your  house  or  to  your  hotel. 


On  board  of  a  steamboat  between  New  York 
and  Fall  'River. 

When  does  the  steamboat  leave  1 

Shp  leaves  at  five  o'clock,   Gentlemen, 

you  have  no  time  to  lose. 
Give   us   our  tickets,    we   shall   go   on 

board    immediately,    our  baggage  is 

already  here. 

This  is  a  very  handsome  boat. 
It  is  strongly  built  and  is  very  elegantly 

furnished. 

Do  they  serve  supper  on  board  7 
Yes    Sir,     supper    is    served   at   seven 

o'clock. 

And  when  do  we  arrive  in  Fall  River  ? 
To  morrow  morning  at  five  o'clock.  ' 
Do  you  know  how  soon  a  train  goes 

from  there  to  Boston  ? 
The  first  train  starts  at  6  o'clock,  the 

next  at  8  o'clock. 
There  the  bell    is  ringing  for  the  last 

time.

Now  they  are  pulling  in  the  gang-boards 
and  closing  the  safety-valve.  We  are 
off. 

Shall  we  not  go  below  and  look  at  our 
berths  ? 

With  pleasure,  what  number  have  you  ? 

I  have  number  97. 

And  I  number  95. 

Then  we  are  one  over  the  other. 

I  find  that  the  boat  rolls  considerably. 

That  is  not  as  disagreeable  as  when  it 

pitches. 

I  commence  already  to  feel  indisposed. 
Come  on  deck,  in  the  fresh  air  you  will 

feel  more  comfortable. 

I  will  try  it,- but  I  fear,  I  shall  suffer 
from- sea-sickness. 

I  am  never  sea-sick,  but  it  must  be 
very  disagreeable. 

Is  there  no  remedy  for  this  sickness. 

Oh,  yes,  a  great  many  but  they  do  not 
cure  it. 

That  is  bad,  then  I  shall  never  be  able 
to  make  a  long  sea-voyage. 

Oh,  you  may ! .  with  most  persons  sea- 
sickness is  only  a  temporary  evil. 

Why  are  children  exposed  to  sea-sick- 
ness less  and  for  a  shorter  time,  than 
grown  persons  1 

Because  children,  nothwithstanding  th? 
sickness,  will  take  food  ;  if  grown  per- 
sons would  follow  this,  example,  as 
soon  as  they  feel  'their  stomach  empty, 
they  would  soon  be  better.» 

I   shall  remember  this. 

It    is  true,  it  requires  a  little  courage. 

I  think  we  shall  have  a  stormy  night, 
the  wind  is  increasing, 

Ha've  you  ever  seen  the  phosphorescent 
light  at  sea? 

I  have  often  heard  of  it,  but  I  have 
never  seen  it. 

Let  us  go  to  the  stern  of  the  vessel. 
Look,  the  wake  shines  like  molden  gold. 

That  is  a  splendid  sight. 

But  it  is   growing  very  cool  now,    and 

we  shall  do  well  to  go  to  bed. 
A  pleasant  night   to  you,  Sir,    and  do 

not  get  sea-sick. 
I   thank    you  very  much,    I  should  be 

sorry*  to  disturb  you.
